Lemon and Lime Cordial

I have no idea why I’ve always bought cordials, they’re so easy to make and homemade can only much more natural and therefore healthy than anything store bought. Citrus is one of Big S’s favourite flavours and since we’ve had colds hanging around for weeks I thought a big dose of vitamin C would do us some good. So my first foray into the homemade mixer world is lemon and lime.

This syrup/cordial is zingy and sweet, ideal as the base of a watery drink, or drizzled over cakes or slightly sharp fruit, or perhaps a great base for a cocktail. Inspired by a recipe from this month’s Jamie magazine, a bottle of this cordial will become a regular ingredient in our fridge, especially since Big S said it’s the nicest cordial she’s ever tasted 🙂
